Monocyte Subsets in Schistosomiasis Patients with Periportal Fibrosis
Figure 4
Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) expression of antifibrotic IL-12 ((a)–(c)) and regulatory IL-10 ((d)–(f)) and IL-10R ((g)–(i)) molecules in classical (CD14++CD16−), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+CD16++) monocytes of patients with different degrees of periportal fibrosis secondary to schistosomiasis. Cultures without stimulation (white bar) and cultures stimulated with 10 μg/mL of SEA (gray bar). Without fibrosis (WF), incipient fibrosis (IF), and moderate to severe fibrosis (MSF). and (Kruskal-Wallis).
